Michael, watch the output of `top` until codasrv (sort by memory usage) stops using processor. Then you can stop the server (or issue a log-rotate as described by another mail of the last week or so on this list) and get the logged output that 5.3.15 should have - but didn't - flush to the log. That should give you more info about what's going on. Randy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael J.
